I spotted this little fellow along a fairly busy walking path this afternoon, but he was quite bold and when disturbed by passersby, he would just do a small circle flight and come right back. I don't think I'd realized how really small these are....about the size of a sparrow!

That first shot is as exquisite as it gets. Well done, Mike.

Thanks Al, would have liked a bit more DOF but still am happy with the results.


Thanks 2n10 and Lester!
He was kind of down an embankment in the first few so I couldn't get as low as I would have liked....
